Adam Dix Untitled (3), 2022 Ink and Oil Glaze on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About The work of Adam Dix (b.1967) explores the history of transmission, and wrestles with components of contemporary communication. His work brings together a world depicting community and ritual, whilst traversing the landscape of analogue and digital medias through a blend of traditional folk customs, religious ceremony and contemporary communication. Coupling the contemporary instant-ness of a screen shot, with the slower historic ghostly feel of lithography, Adam Dix's work is concerned with communication through the ages, the constant effort of humanity to come together, share, inspire, pass on our narratives. Humanity has communicated for millennia through illustrations, rituals, customs, choreography, music, writing, religion and symbolism in an attempt to understand one another. Pilgrimages to sites both known and unexpected are suggested in Dix's paintings, religious ceremony is referenced. Costume, disguise and the borrowing and interpretation of symbols are prevalent. Timeframes are indistinct, in Dix's work the present assimilates the residue of the past, we are left contemplating whether a scene is contemporary or historic.
